Chapter 68: The Mask
Ren Xin and the stone walked side by side, Ren Xin saw that a tree not far away was hung with various styles and colorful masks, which felt very novel, so he pulled the stone and ran over to circle around the tree.
"What's going on. Still with masks hanging from the trees? Ren Xin looked at the appearance of each mask playfully, some were made to imitate the appearance of the animal, some were made to make the character mask like a play, and some were just a simple face-like mask with hollowed out eyes, but the colors were different.
Stone also looked at the masks and shook his head, "It's the first time I've seen it too." Inadvertently saw a fairy mask wearing a flower crown as bright as fire, he couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but the mask suddenly moved and changed direction, revealing a human face from the place where the stone stretched out, the stone was taken aback, and took two steps back, causing Ren Xin to look at the face that suddenly appeared, only to see a pair of bright eyes on that face turned around, and then, the branch was removed, and a middle-aged man who was not tall walked out from behind the tree, grinning at Ren Xin and the stone, "Two guest officers, which one do you like?" ”
It turned out that the man hiding in the tree was the owner of these masks. Ren Xin looked around the tree, and didn't see the chair or anything, I don't know where the man came from, she curiously lifted the man out of the branch, and found that under the cover of the overlapping branches, there was a huge tree hole, perhaps after the merchant's repair, the part of the tree hole was like a spacious recliner in general, it was very comfortable to look at, it seemed that this man was resting here when he had nothing to do.
The man selling the mask coughed lightly, and Ren Xin realized that it was a little rude for her to go to the tree hole exclusive to others without permission, she turned around and smiled, turned the branch back to its original place, and grabbed a mask casually, the man who sold the mask looked at the mask in Ren Xin's hand, the light in his eyes narrowed, and turned to the other side of the tree to take off a mask with a black and white face and took it over, "Does the girl like this one?" ”
"How?" Ren Xin looked at the black and white face in the man's hand, and then looked at the solid color face mask in his hand with unclear colors, I don't know why the man felt that the black and white face was more suitable for her?
"This face is black and white, maybe it fits the girl's character, and the distinction between good and evil is clear." The man smiled, Ren Xin took the face and looked at it carefully, and chuckled, "Black and white is important, but I prefer such chaotic and simple colors, there is no such obvious boundary between good and evil, good and evil, I think this chaotic and accommodating, black and white color is more suitable for me, only in this way, can I go further and further on the road I want to go." ”
"It seems that the girl wants to take a not simple path, but chaos is just a mask, right and wrong, whether this is clear in my heart is afraid that only I know." The man looked at the chaotic mask in Ren Xin's hand and shook his head, "It seems that from today onwards, this mask will change owners." ”
Ren Xin raised the mask in his hand, "The mask itself exists to cover up the truth, so why let it show the truth?" Rest assured, it's in my hands, and I'll take care of it. ”
"The mask itself exists to cover up the truth...... the man repeated Ren Xin's words, thinking that this girl was very interesting, and then took the black and white face in Ren Xin's hand and handed it to the stone, "Then, this mask is indeed the most suitable for you." ”
Shi was stunned for a moment and looked at the gorgeous face that was within reach before, and was a little dazed, "What do you say?" ”
"How did this mask fit him?" Ren Xin leaned over funny and poked his head out to ask. The man didn't explain, only said, "That mask is too ostentatious and not suitable for Childe." ”
Eventually, Stone took the black and white mask the man handed him and asked how much it cost. The man held out two fingers, "Two pennies." "What about this?" Ren Xin saw the man selling the mask looking up at the stone, and there was always a sense of meaning in the sight of the two, she hurriedly took the mask in her hand and blocked the two of them, intercepting their gaze, and then looking at it like this, maybe these two people would not give birth to something.
The man who sold the mask looked at the mask in Ren Xin's hand and sighed a little reluctantly, "Since the girl is destined for it, then give it to the girl like this, but this mask is a little old, and the girl doesn't mind." ”
"It's okay, what I like is the most important thing." Ren Xin casually put the mask on his face, the mask was a little bigger, but the rope could be tied closer. Stone paid two cents and left with Ren Xin, and the man selling the mask looked up at the midday sun, and the time disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Ren Xin fiddled with the mask in his hand all the way, Shi recalled the man who seemed to be a little unfathomable and sold masks, and always felt that he had the ability to see through people's hearts, he looked at Ren Xin who seemed to like the mask very much, and couldn't help but wonder whether Ren Xin's words were casual or meaningful, "Xin'er, do you think that man just spoke with a reason?" ”
"That's just a businessman pretending to fool us into buying masks, what can be the truth in what he said?" Ren Xin said indifferently, it seemed that he didn't take the man's words to heart, "You think it makes a lot of sense, or you happen to think like that in your heart, but don't you feel too bleak to use a mask to show the truth that you dare not show?" ”
After that, Ren Xin put the mask on his face by himself, only revealing a pair of clear phoenix eyes and looking at the stone with a smile, the stone looked at Ren Xin's eyes fixedly, very beautiful but couldn't see any emotion, and the smile didn't reach the bottom of the eyes.
Looking at Ren Xin at this time, Shi suddenly remembered what she said before, "The mask itself exists to cover up the truth...... If so, it is really a perfect armament. It's just that, suddenly, Shi felt that he couldn't see through the little woman in front of him......
"Xin'er, when will I be able to enter your heart?" The stone was moved, he grabbed Ren Xin's shoulders and walked with her, Ren Xin raised his head with a mask and looked at her with a pair of phoenix eyes, "You have always been in my heart." ”
Shi smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand to straighten Ren Xin's head, let her look ahead, and whispered in her ear, "The next time you say this, remember to take off the mask, I have a lot of doubts, you say this, do you want me to believe it, or don't you believe it?" After all, there was also a Chu Qingchen between the two, he was a bystander before, and he saw the abnormal feeling between Ren Xin and Chu Qingchen very clearly, although he didn't know why Ren Xin would make a promise to be with him so easily because of his waiting, but he could be sure that when Zaijian arrived at Chu Qingchen, Ren Xin would never be able to clearly say the words of rejecting Chu Qingchen.
"You wouldn't have said anything like that before." Ren Xin felt awkward about such a stone, he had always been a spoiled and responsible big brother image, and now this is just the right ...... Alas, why did she have a brain pump, she said something like that first, can she regret it?
Unconsciously, when the two people passed by a casino, they suddenly threw out a person from the casino, and by chance fell in front of Ren Xin's feet, Ren Xin didn't pay attention, was frightened for a while, took a step back and hit the stone's arms, and the two people who were secretly sulking with their own thoughts suddenly got better, the stone hugged Ren Xin to avoid the person, patted her on the back, and asked her if she was okay, Ren Xin waved his hand to see what happened.
I saw that the man had just been thrown out, and then a few people ran out of the casino, and there was another wave of punches and kicks at him, Ren Xin frowned, and was about to leave with the stone, "Don't make trouble, let's leave early." The stone acquiesced, clenched Ren Xin's hand, and pulled her away.
The people around to see the excitement gathered more and more, a little boy came out of the crowd and just happened to take a picture with the stone, the stone pulled Ren Xin paused, looked back at the little boy, only to see the child hurriedly ran over, but a few steps away from the man who was beaten, Ren Xin pulled the stone strangely, "What's wrong?" Why don't you go? ”
"That kid, I remember, was the one who stole our silver." Stone looked at the child's figure, and he remembered it clearly, because for him, it was a knot that he could not let go of easily.
The boy looked coldly at the group of people in the gambling hall and left after beating people, and the people who were waiting to see the excitement were all dispersed, so the boy slowly stepped forward, looked down at the man who was rolling on the ground with his face covered in pain, and said coldly, "You deserve it!" You say, did you block the money for grandma's medical treatment? The boy's hands were clenched into fists, clenched tightly, and his body trembled with excitement.
The man rolling on the ground covered his face with his hand to separate the small gap, and saw that the people who beat him had already left, and the onlookers had dispersed, so he sat up from the ground with a hum, glanced up at the angry boy, and touched his painful face with disdain, "That old woman can't be saved anyway, it's already her blessing to be able to drag it out for a few days, so why bother to spend that silver on her, it's better to let me take it to the casino to play two, and when I turn the tables......"
Saying that, the man seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly grabbed the boy's arm and grinned at him so disgustingly, "Zhan Yue, do you still have ten taels of silver on you?" Give it to the eldest brother, and when the eldest brother turns the tables, the eldest brother will go to buy a house and then go to ......"
"Bet, bet, bet...... You know betting! Zhan Yue broke the man's hand and pushed him back, the man's center of gravity fell, the boy bit his lip and stubbornly stared at the man's fleshy cheeks and trembled at the corners of his mouth, "The doctor said that grandma can't last three days!" As he spoke, tears burst and he couldn't hold back any longer.
